Hi, I’m Cindy. Welcome to Cloches & Lavender!
I’m married to my best friend, John. We’ve spent most of our lives together, and he’s not only my biggest supporter through life with MS, but he’s also my handyman. From building to fixing, he’s always there to help bring my ideas to life.
We’re huge NY Mets fans, and during the summer, you’ll find us watching every game, cheering them on, and hoping this is the season!
We also love dachshunds and share our home with Reeses, our sweet 15-year-old who still acts like a puppy.
Here at Cloches & Lavender, I share easy crafts, recipes, and decorating ideas with a cozy, natural touch. I especially love making wreaths that work across three seasons to stay budget-friendly. In spring and summer, I decorate with moss and flower pots. Come fall, our home is filled with dried hydrangeas, pine cones, nuts, and preserved acorns. I’ve got hundreds!
I enjoy giving new pieces an old look using layers of paint, wax, and dry brushing. Since thrift stores aren’t great in our area, I’ve learned to age just about anything, from baskets and furniture to flower pots and even plastic pumpkins.
In the cooler months, I bring warmth into our home with simmer pots and plenty of baking. There’s always something cozy happening here.
Take a look around Cloches & Lavender. I’m so happy you stopped by!
